A Gentle Reminder to All Game Farmers & Wildlife Colleagues
The wildlife capture season is now officially closed, and mass captures will only resume from 1 March 2026.
This pause is essential to:
Protect heavily pregnant females
Prevent unnecessary stress
Safeguard unborn calves and lambs
Ensure a strong 2026 generation
Every unborn calf matters. Stress at this stage can lead to losses that impact the entire ecosystem and next year’s breeding cycle.
